Product Description
"Freeze!" Duane "Dog" Chapman entertains and inspires millions on Dog the Bounty Hunter, his #1-rated show on A&E -- but there is more to his story. From troubled beginnings and tragedy to triumph and transformation, he reveals all for the first time in this no-holds-barred memoir. Dog spent the first twenty-three years of his life on the wrong side of the law. In You Can Run, but You Cant Hide, he offers an inside look at his days as a gang member; his dark years of addiction and abuse; and how serving eighteen months in prison for a murder he didnt commit helped him recommit to his faith. He also shares stories of some of his most dangerous bounty hunts -- including his capture of Max Factor heir and convicted rapist Andrew Luster, which made international headlines. In You Can Run, but You Cant Hide, Dog recounts his incredible story, chronicling his journey from his onetime criminal past to the guiding faith that has led him to become one of the most successful bounty hunters in American history. Against all odds, Dog turned his life around and went from ex-con to American icon in the process. This is his story.

I thought this was a wonderful book. It's full of information about Dog's life and exactly what he's had to deal with along the way.
 Couldn't put it down! October 16, 2008

This book was passed on from my conservative cousin (doesn't drink, cuss or smoke); then to my Mother (who's not a reader); then on to me. They both highly recommended the book to me but I wasn't really interested and wouldn't have bought the book for myself. I started thumbing through the pages and couldn't put it down. I was up until 12:00 midnight wanting to see what came next! What a life! You really feel like you're there (riding on the back of a motorcycle in a gang; tracking down a fugitive!) I agree it's written rather roughly; no fancy prose here but raw, real life events. I can't wait to get home and finish reading the rest!

Interesting Life Story August 10, 2008

Duane 'Dog' Chapman is a unique individual and this biography is one that will hold the reader's attention from start to finish.
I had not known a great deal about 'Dog' Chapman before reading this book. Of course I had followed his capture of the infamout Rapist Andrew Luster and his subsequent imprisonment in Mexico. On a couple of occasions I had seen parts of his show on TV, although I've never seen a full episode. After reading this book, I may have to watch his show a time or two.
'You Can Run, But You Can't Hide' chronicles 'Dog's' life including a stint in prison for 1st Degree Murder (He did not do the actual killing), being the top salesman in the country for a vacuum cleaner company, running with a biker gang, and more. It includes his early criminal life of drug dealing and being a burglar.
This book does not try to hide the bad side of his life. It includes his drug addiction, prison sexual behaviors, and more. Some of the language is pretty rough. That and some of his earlier experiences may be too much for those with more delicate sensibilities.
There is much in his life that can be a lesson for those going down the wrong path. He has made all kinds of mistakes and freely shares them. Many will love this book. I'm sure that others will not like it at all. I think it is a worthwhile read.
